Great nose of dried fruit and hazelnuts. Mouth feel is great acid and dried pear and apricot. Hints of oxidation show its age but do not detract from long finish and complexity. Marssanne;Chard;Roussanne;Viognier. — 10 years ago

1995 was my daughters birth year so we popped this for her Bday. I'm glad we did the bubbles were almost gone, but the complex flavors were more than enough to make up for softer mouth feel. We loved it but others may like it younger. — 10 years ago

Absolutely California in style, a brandy to make France wonder how did they get all that fruit into the spirit. Dried pear, cinnamon, apricot and toasty oak. A MUST taste brandy that you will enjoy on a cold winter night. — 10 years ago
